In a competitive market, selling your home can be a journey.
Even when the real estate market is in its prime there are always things you can do to help draw in buyers and increase your property value.
Upgrading your bathroom is a great way to improve your standard of living when you are in the home and also bring up the value of the home.
It is an affordable option that can change the entire feel of the home and help enhance homebuyer appeal.
If you are looking to upgrade your bathroom to help increase appeal to buyers, there are definitely some affordable options to take in.
If you have a dated bathroom with unattractive tiles surrounding the tub, then consider getting a bathtub liner installed.
This is only a one day installation and is a great option for tubs that are still in good condition, but need to be revamped.
This is a lot cheaper than replacing an entire tub.
Any cracks in your bathroom tiles will not be an attractive feature to a buyer.
Cracks insinuate mold problems.
If a grout in not entirely sealed then water can seep through and cause mold-one of the number one things that buyers are told to look out for in a home inspection.
Mold can seriously affect the health of a building's foundation.
In this case you should consider replacing the existing tub or tiles and try getting a one piece shower flooring that is guaranteed not to leak.
Bathtub surrounds are a really eye catching upgrade and are equally as durable as they are attractive.
They are available in different designs, finishes, and colors.
This is a great option because surrounds do not require grout and therefore are promised not to leak.
This makes them the more sanitary and cost effective option.
Replacing the cabinetry or installing a vanity is definitely something that a potential buyer will appreciate.
The tiles and cabinets are two of the biggest culprits in making a bathroom look dated.
You can install a vanity at any height that is most comfortable for your back and there are many different styles and finishes to choose from.
There are also different countertop materials to consider as well like a solid surface, quartz, or granite.
There are many different upgrades to consider when trying to sell your home and for a full range of financial and time budgets.
Starting with the bathroom is an investment that will certainly pay itself off.
